Kapow! Comic Reader

Kapow reads the comics you already own: CBZ, CBR, CB7, CBT and PDF. No accounts and no ads.

READ YOUR WAY
• Guided View: panel by panel, each tap takes you to the next one. Detection runs on your phone.
• Bigger speech bubbles, so you can read small lettering without zooming.
• Comic, manga (right to left) or vertical scroll, per comic.
• Brighter, more contrast or paper for yellowed scans. Fit to screen or to width.
• Turn pages with edge taps or the volume keys. Bookmarks and share page.
• Night tint and keep the screen on while reading.
• Two-page spreads on tablets and open foldables.

YOUR SHELF
• Pick your comics folder and Kapow sorts it by series. Move or rename a file and you keep your progress.
• Continue reading, reading lists and unread, read and favourites filters.
• Search by series, writer, year or rating: series:planet, year>1950, rating:4+.
• Reads ComicInfo.xml: series, issue, title and credits. Rate each comic, fix its details and choose its cover.
• Reading stats for the last 30 days.

YOUR LOOK
• Pure black (OLED), graphite or paper background, seven accent colours or your wallpaper colour on Android 12+, and five icons.
• Per-comic settings: each comic keeps its own reading direction, vertical scroll, bubble size, fit-to-width and page filter.
• English and Spanish.

Kapow collects no data. It only reads the files you point it to.
